To Add the Sss
I wanted a life lead by the Mona Lisa smile
When some hot guy walks by
You need to play it cool
That is how you make steam
So I earned this body
I added the sss
I walked into the club a black hole
Leaving glances and breath bereaved
It wasn’t enough to earn this body
Those hunting eyes had to believe
They could as well
I fed the fantasy to yearning hands
I added the ss
Pride is owned by the mirror
Skin I am comfortable in
Skin eyes danced across
Yes
I earned this body
I added the s
To be no longer called
He

My brother is currently undergoing hormone therapy in his journey to finally feeling right in his own skin. Your words have reminded me of his plight and how sweet his victory will be.
Great read.
Great read.

I am so glad you related that much to this piece because honestly, I just guessed how it would feel. I'm glad you liked it and I wish your brother an easy transition.
